TSX-130 had terrible FM reception. Better on this model?

Yes, with the plug in antenna the FM reception is good. However, AM is terrible.

I'm satisfied with the FM reception but a lot has to do with where you place itAnd that goes for all of my four radios.

I had to send both units I received back as the FM reception was defective. Please try another brand. John

that depends of course on the power of the radio station. Simply put, at this time: of all portable receivers that i have played with (and i have owned too many) this is the most sensitive for FM. For AM: It is not in the same league as the PL-310ET (the ferrite rod is too short). For SW: distance is not the issue, but time of day and sun activity -but it is quite good. In worst case, Amazon is very generous in understanding that this was returned because it did not meet your requirements

Go with the new version GEX-MP3 - Just upgrade the Firmware with a downloadable tool from XMRadio and it will be just fine - A great radio with MP3 functions - I use it everywhere and the reception is excellent. If you are an Audible book subscriber as we are - the book downloads to the GEX-XMP3 are a snap. When at home/office I connect it to my Boze Wave and the sound is great, especially the books. Get it - Amazon.com has best price in town.

Interesting. I've been considering pre-ordering the 1390T. The amazon description says it does have multi-point routing, maybe it is wrong. With the FM transmitter on the 765T, do you have to use the FM transmitter, and does this mean you have to tune your radio to a dead FM channel while driving? Interesting point you make, because the prices are very similar on Amazon.

I bought one for a road trip from Ohio to California. I heard people on the CB less than a dozen times. It was a major disappointment. I'm not sure what kind of radio systems truckers use these days. I remember taking a long road trip in the 80s. Cars AND truckers were using CB's and I was able to have conversations the entire way. Next time you see a trucker, ask them what they use!

This radio has good analog FM reception compared to most inexpensive radios. The HD portion of the signal is always weaker than the regular portion. Do not expect HD reception if regular reception is weak. In a location where a cheap radio has poor reception, this radio will have noticeably better reception but will not receive HD. http://www.element14.com/community/groups/wireless/blog/2013/07/26/testing-hd-radio

Partners reported more static at the higher freqs with this antenna. MURS and other VHF were better, but still not crystal clear. The Nagoya whips actually worked better from inside the vehicle.

Where I live I do not receive FM very well. I use it primarily with my cell connected to Pandora.

I have not used for FM reception but for picking up TV channels and it works just fine, in fact better than a previous model I had.

This radio does not have satellite radio reception such as Sirus or XM.I receives AM, FM and Short Wave. Sorry.

The speaker itself is incredible! The FM transmitter is not. On every station I tried, the call and music came through with a great deal of static, and there is no AM feature either so if you live in an area with plenty of well-broadcast FM radio stations, it will be difficult to find an FM station not in use. I returned mine I'm fact.

Check the LNB rotation. Also, I noticed that for some transponders, changing the LNB frequency gets the quality going.

Update. It works fairly well on the aircraft band RECEIVE ONLY. I was able to scan the air band and pick up close to a dozen aircraft frequencies in use.It still cannot transmit on aircraft frequencies. And even if it did, it only transmits FM while aircraft transmission is AM, so nobody could understand you even if you did transmit.

I think it's 88 .1. to 108. Auto Tune stop with the strongest signal. You might try backing off on the anttena a bit.

Pyramid 3800 for me has excellent FM reception, I don't anything about the (1302).
